With a knotted blouse or a cute sweater: grab a baggy shirt or blouse with a contrasting color or pattern and place it on top of your crop top. Then, tie a knot on the front, making sure it covers the problematic area. You can also wear a sweater or denim jacket, and simply close it strategically on the areas you don’t want to show.
